2017 Progress Report for Global Conservation Now Available

Thank you for your critical support for Global Conservation’s work to protect eight (8) UNESCO World Heritage and National Parks in developing countries, including two (2) Marine National Parks. Over $2.4 million has been secured over the past 3 years for Global Park Defense deployments, as well as $2.8 million in co-funding.

We salute our major donors this year from San Francisco and Silicon Valley to New York to Hong Kong including Rainforest Trust, Arcus Foundation, March Conservation Fund, Full Circle Fund, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Johnson Family Foundation and Draper Foundation.

You support enables us to directly fund park and wildlife protection where it is needed most - in developing countries with the highest biodiversity and the last intact primary forests and wildlife habitats.

This year we welcome The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation which is funding our critical work to establish wildlife ranger teams for the rst time in the Heart of Borneo. Global Park Defense is being deployed to protect the last elephants, clouded leopards and megafauna species being hunted by local communities and international syndicates. In June 2017, over 8 tons of pangolin was con scated in Sabah, Borneo Malaysia, and wildlife protection has been non-existent for too long.

We partner with the best scientific, community development, tourism and conservation leaders to enable long-term sustainability for each park, always working directly with the national park authority.

Through our Global Park Defense deployment of equipment, systems and training, we are helping to achieve ‘No Cut, No Kill’ in the some of the world’s most endangered places, and are creating a model ‘Center of Excellence’ for park and wildlife protection in each country where we work.

Our achievements over the past 3 years were only possible with your support - whether you can fund a major park and wildlife protection program, or assist in bringing Global Park Defense technology and training to a single ranger team.

Please let me know how we can improve our work, partnerships and outreach to grow funding and bring lasting park and wildlife protection to more developing countries around the world.
